Enjoyable and educational cultural tour - A great half day tour of many of the historic areas in Penang. The tour guide Ronnie was very knowledgeable of the cultural history of the sites we visited and was able to paint a vivid picture with his stories and descriptions. I was entertained throughout the tour.

Highlights of Georgetown - We both agreed the visit to Kek Loc Si Temple was the highlight of our holiday. Shawn our tour guide was knowledagble friendly and knows how to get to the front of a queue easily 😂. We took lots of pictures and certainly had a wow moment. We then went to Khoo Konsi and again Shawn knew so much about the history that brought something special to the visit... We then walked around the Georgetown heritage site and took plenty of photos of the street art and found things we wouldn't have if we travelled independently. We walked to old the jetty, fire station and little India before going back to Fort Cornwallis fort. Part of the fort was undergoing renovation so we had limited things to view. Overall we enjoyed the day and even travelling in between sights Shawn have us great insight into Malaysian culture.. Thank you we really enjoyed it.

Half Day Tour with Azmel - Our guide was Azmel. He was over the top great. We had booked the private half day tour for me and my son (17). Azmel ended up picking us up at our hotel in Batu Ferringhi (which isn’t normal) with our luggage and dropped us off at our airport hotel at the end of the tour. He had a really nice car and good A/C. WE SAW EVERYTHING! He took us to all of the spots listed on all of the tour sites. And we had as much time as we wanted to explore the spots when stopped. He also gave so much great info and history. After researching all of the sites before visiting, I had a real interest in seeing the famous street art displays. He already had one scheduled to see, but ended up taking us to see the other 3 on request. Would totally recommend this tour and Azmel to anyone.
